------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Oct 9 12:53:37 +0000 2009 ------- AW->cornouws: Yes, that's mainly because the geometry for fat lines needs to be represented as decomposed geometry to include the line joins. As said, the MetaFile does not have any possibility to handle that information. AW: To solve this, i tried to expand the MetaFile to include such action. As a start, i expanded LineInfo and it's streaming operators. Luckily, there is a version info written/read in the file, so this indeed is possible. The bad news starts when You try to use it; e.g. when saving a SVM (our own MetaFile format, also used for OLEs), the stream operators at the MetaActions are not used, but a class called SVMConverter. And guess what, there is NO version information and NO way to add LineJoin info in a compatible way. Sigh :-( All in all the MetaFile handling has VARIOUS ways to save/load them which cannot all easily been found and not all of them can be expanded. So, a MetaFile which went through a save/load cycle is NOT guaranteed the same MetaFile as before. Ahhh! Investigating further if i can in any way hack the handling of the actions META_LINE_ACTION and META_POLYLINE_ACTION in SVMConverter... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
